5 June 2021

 


     The pain is greater today than yesterday, elbow and shoulder.  It will be an oxycodone morning.  I hate that stuff.

     I was so tired last night it was unbelievable, yet I was awake shortly after 3am.  I do not understand why I struggle to sleep.

     I bought an electric razor almost two years ago through the mandated Wisconsin Department of Corrections system in which the DOC gets 10% of all sales.  A tax on the poor.

     It broke about after seven days.  The seller refused to replace it and mandated I send it in under the manufacturer’s warranty.  About three months ago I received a new razor.  I just spent 20 days at UW Health, so in just over 60 days it broke again.  Of course, the ninety-day warranty is from the original purchase date.  Yet the state of Wisconsin gets to retain the 10% tax, plus the additional 5.5% tax they made on the sale of the item.  That is a sin.

     With the loss of strength, numbness, tingling, and motion I am having in my right shoulder and arm, shaving with the electric razor has been a challenge.  Switching to a disposable this morning was really difficult.

     I put some time into my paint chip self-portrait collage while listening to the Bucks' basketball game.
